Hi Stan. Full disclosure, I'm honestly not that active on KZbin save posting our conference videos (but this will change soon). I haven't deleted any comments on this video or any others, so I assumed they must have been automatically held "in review" by YT, but I don't see your comment there either. I suspect it might be due to having links...? That's happened to me before when commenting on other channels, so I leave the links off. See if you can reply me here with your original comment -- maybe it will work if I've interacted directly.

👉 “Effect of fructose instead of glucose or sucrose on cardiometabolic markers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of isoenergetic intervention trials.” PMID33029629 RESULTS: Twenty-five studies involving 1744 volunteers were identified. No significant effects were found when fructose or HFCS was substituted for glucose, except for a slight decrease in diastolic blood pressure when fructose was substituted for glucose. Similarly, no effects were found when fructose or HFCS was substituted for sucrose

👉 Fructose replacement of glucose or sucrose in food or beverages lowers postprandial glucose and insulin without raising triglycerides: a systematic review and meta-analysis - PMID28592611 . Conclusions: Strong evidence exists that substituting fructose for glucose or sucrose in food or beverages lowers peak postprandial blood glucose and insulin concentrations. Isoenergetic replacement does not result in a substantial increase in blood triglyceride concentrations.

So? Never known Bikman to intentionally omit what he knows as truth.

There are 2 physiological insulin resistance in life one in pregnancy and the other is at puberty, so ur problem seems to be physiologic insulin resistance

@@Healthwarning-ry9ql it doesn't explain my issue with low blood sugar though

He or she burn if doesn't take exogenous insulin, type 1 diabetic is always in ketosis.

He does have a channel: Insulin IQ

Elevated fasting insulin and c-reactive protein

These happen much earlier than fasting glucose and A1c

Can you elaborate further?

There is also nothing that proves there isn't a G_d

The important thing is for you to take the fourth booster because it's safe and effective and enjoys significant supporting documentation.

Proof is not necessary to believe in God. All that is required is faith.

It happened to me also. My last bloodwork showed an A1c of 4.7 and fasting insulin of 5. I eat low carb/keto for years and took a OGTT. My glucose went to 230 for the first hour, then back to 75 at the 2 hour mark. My insulin stayed in the normal range. My doctor thinks I am a diabetic and should take a low dose metformin. I am grateful to Dr Bikman for his explanation of this phenomenon

@philpecoraro5458 Just like me AN a1c of 4.3 and I'm apparently diabetic? No guys. Thankfully the mfm is receptive. And says 2 weeks of good #s and I can stop testing. But her nurse is crazy and despite perfect numbers she thinks I'm diabetic.

@@louisacapell I have shown Dr Bikman’s videos to my doctor’s office. They do use fasting insulin and OGTTs as part of their prevention practice, which is unusual and I appreciate. They are open minded and really into lifestyle first ahead of drugs, and are interested in learning from experts like Dr Bikman. Hopefully he will help them to better understand how to interpret this test. I want to tell others that may have had similar experiences to you and I

What????

It would be nice for Bikman to explain this philosophy.

@@HEARTANDSOULOFMINE his philosophy on what?

I’m confused about whether it’s bad or not I’m on OMAD and mostly Keto (with one cheat day a week). And my A1C is still at 5.6 after following this diet for 5 years.

@@darlenetytula2219 I think Dr Bikman explain that phenomenon, that low carb keeps the numbers high and that having some carbs a few hours before the blood test will bring them down.

@@jan-olofharnvall8760 It is fasting more than twelve hours before a blood glucose test or OGTT that he suggests drives your bg higher, but I think that longer fasts can create stress which in turn churns out more cortisol which drives up your blood glucose which creates more insulin production.
